Hal Hebert has always insisted he didn’t kill his wife.​Seven years ago, after an emotional murder trial that was rich in incriminating circumstantial evidence but short on motive, a Denver jury found Hal Hebert guilty of shooting his wife Carol in 2001 in their Belcaro home. A key witness for the prosecution was an oddball named Richard White, who testified that he sold a gun to a friend of Hebert’s — a gun that Hebert allegedly acquired six weeks before the murder.
The murder weapon was never found. But a few weeks after Hebert’s trial, White was arrested and charged with homicide in Arapahoe County.

Two bodies were exhumed from his back yard in Park Hill, another from a grave in southern Colorado.
